You will have experience of lecturing to groups of up to around 50 students and be qualified to the corresponding level of the award as required to teach (or demonstrate equivalent professional/industry level experience). Comprehensive materials for all lectures will be provided.

In addition to the criteria specified in the job pack, the minimum requirements for selection are listed below:

• A degree in Psychology.
• Relevant teaching experience, working with adult students within the HE sector.
• A good understanding of the needs of part-time adult learners and be able to relate well to their individual needs and engage their interest and enthusiasm.
• A working knowledge of IT including Word, Excel, e-mail and experience of (or willingness to use) Moodle.
  
  

Please note: candidates need to demonstrate competence or significant potential in all areas.

If this sounds like the role for you, we invite you to apply for this position at Birkbeck, University of London, today.

Salary

Payment is based on an hourly rate depending on length of continuous service with the College (starting rate £68.13 per hour inclusive of pro-rata London Allowance and holiday pay) for contact hours worked.
